Key logger for Mac - Microman - 10-28-2012
Is there a Mac Key logger that I can install on granddaughters white iBook g4?, have adult controls on , and time limes set, but have allowed a program called from pinger.com which totally neutralizes the fact that she can only call 13 numbers on her cell phone setup. Now she can text any phone from computer. Want to trust her, but she has failed us a few times!
Suggestions for mac key logger that might send data to another pc
Thanks
Or I'll have to limit pinger some how. Or turn off completely

Good luck.
Limit the applications on her computer and don't let her have admin privileges.

Umm... You consider sending free SMS messages from her phone or computer to be a huge breach of trust? Seriously?
Is there more to the story or is that it?
And she's on a G4 iBook?
Seems like she's being punished enough already.
Seriously.
The obsolescence-factor alone will prevent her from doing almost anything fun or interesting.
I think you really ought to ask yourself whether winning this "battle" is worth losing whatever last vestiges of trust she may have for you.

I always loved the KeyLogger program on the PC. But the one I used for years faded from the PC and yes, worries about other computers "logging on". There are still programs for the PC but I don't think Apple products have anything workable.

you'd also have to limit her email access via Mail or web email services like google or yahoo or any number of places she could get a free email address as one can email-to-text also. STF as to how this is done without even using whatever that pinger software is. wow - good luck with this.

I don't know system she is running, but a google search reveals some that run down to 10.4. Good luck.

Knowing what kids/teens do these days, I feel sorry for any parent... there is simply no way you will be able to monitor your child. He or she will always have a "secret life" online that you will know nothing about-- gone are the days where kids go out and play ball with their classmates, welcome to the days where they tweet about things you couldn't imagine.

PeterB-
FWIW, they used to go out and talk about and DO stuff you don't want to imagine as well. Oddly, the 'virtual' lifestyle is virally safer than the old 'go out and play, hubba hubba lifestyle we had as kids. I don't know about your neighborhood, but there were some groves of trees that saw more tush than a proctologist.
